Ditch Dump Trucks and Invest in Etnyre’s Top-Rated Live Bottom Trailers!
Are you looking for a better way to transport hot mix asphalt, gravel, dirt, sand and other raw materials? Why not consider Etnyre’s Falcon® Live Bottom Trailers? Although contractors around the country have relied on dump trucks for raw material transportation for years, live bottom trailers have grown in popularity. And with all the advantages live bottoms have over dump trucks, it’s not hard to see why!
Why Choose Live Bottoms?
Asphalt, road maintenance, and construction contractors all require equipment for transporting, loading, and unloading raw materials. For years, dump trucks (end dump trailers) were the only equipment that could meet contractors’ needs. Now, with the introduction of live bottom trailers, end dump trailers can’t compare. Live bottom trailers offer such benefits as:
- Improved Stability
- Dump trucks have a high center of gravity, meaning there’s an increased risk of rollover when unloading. Live bottoms, on the other hand, have a low center of gravity, allowing for easier unloading and less risk of rollover.
- More Precision
- With a dump truck, precise unloading is more difficult as gravity does most of the work. Conversely, live bottoms feature a conveyor belt system, allowing raw materials to be unloaded in one or several measured loads.
- Unloads Clean
- End dump trailers in their unloading can leave significant portions of raw materials behind, requiring operators to thoroughly clean truck beds between different load types. Live bottoms are different in that they unload clean, meaning less work for contractors in between jobs.
